Review: This stuff really works! HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth is super easy to use—so easy, in fact, that my 3-year-old climbed up on some boxes, opened it herself, and started sprinkling it on the ground like it was chalk art in a bottle (thankfully not on herself!). That just goes to show how user-friendly and mess-free it is. I applied it near our basement entrance, where we were seeing several ants a day creeping inside. After using it regularly—about once a week, the number dropped dramatically. From finding 10+ ants a day to just a couple a day in 2 weeks, and then eventually none at all after about a month. It made a huge difference. I also used it while in Hawaii, where the cockroach situation can be intense. The cockroach population definitely went down after use in the condo, and one morning I found several large dead cockroaches suddenly in a pot of water—something that had been sitting out for weeks with no activity before. Clearly, they were drying out and desperately searching for moisture. Pros: 1) Easy to apply and non-toxic 2) Very effective against ants and cockroaches 3) Can be used both indoors and outdoors - be careful if indoors Cons: 1) Requires reapplication for best results if it rains or gets windy 2) Careful when applying if windy - DANGEROUS to inhale or get in eyes, otherwise non-toxic Overall, it’s an affordable, effective, and safe pest control option that I’ll continue to keep on hand. Highly recommend.
Review: Effective physical insect control. Has dramatically decreased the number of insects in indoor areas where I used it to line entrypoints. Apparently it's non-toxic, so I definitely prefer it over insecticides. But it's more a preventative/supplemental measure than a solution. For something like ant infestations, I'd suggest you use it in conjunction with ant bait (don't pour this around the bait though, you want those ants to live). It comes out like baking powder. I just poured a little in the desired areas then spread it using a small brush. The included spout isn't convenient for larger areas, so I'd suggest something like a bulb duster instead for that. You're apparently only supposed to apply a very thin layer to flat surfaces, because if you can clearly see it then the insects can definitely see it and will avoid it. Not that effective outdoors as rain will wash it away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the stuff you put on your carpets to kill fleas??**
A: It works for fleas as well as pretty much any kind of bug. I love diatomaceous earth, I use it inside and out. While safe to humans and animals (food grade version) it will kill virtually any bug that comes in contact with it. It is composed of the fossilized remains of tiny organisms known as diatoms. The edges of these fossilized diatoms are extremely sharp and will lacerate the exoskeleton of nearly any crawling insect that comes in contact with them. The insects’ movement across the diatomaceous earth also contributes, by helping the sharp edges to lacerate the bug’s body. Essentially, when crawling insects come in contact with diatomaceous earth it is like walking across shards of broken glass. Once their outer shell has been lacerated, the powdery DE dehydrates the insect, killing it, although not instantaneously.

**Q: Will food grade kill bugs or do i need the one marked insect killer?**
A: It is my understanding that both will work to kill off bugs.  I get the food grade so I can also use it on my cats to prevent\kill fleas.
I hope it works out for you as well as it has for me.

**Q: Does this contain silica?**
A: Hello,

Thank you for your question. Our diatomaceous earth contains between 0.00% and an absolute maximum of 0.01% amorphous silica. 

Hope this helps.

Best,
John

**Q: Recieved mine with NO foil/ safety seal* did this happen to anyone else?**
A: My bottle had no seal of any sort either, and the envelope it was delivered in was completely ripped open at the top with the top section of the bottle was sticking out of the envelope (the picture the delivery person took shows it this way too, so who knows how long it was accessible to how many people), meaning that anyone could have opened the container and put anything in it.  I do not feel comfortable using it as a result and will have to return it or throw it away, which is a major pain in the a** considering that I am quarantining and can not risk being around other people.  Terrible packaging and never should have been delivered in a package that was ripped open!
